He said several times, "I want you to get a concealed weapons permit."
At one point, Wright held up a fanny pack and said, "They make this right here where you can conceal a small pistol in them. They got one called The Judge that shoots a .45 or a .410 shell. You ain't got to be accurate; you just have to get close."
Wright said, "I'm tired of looking at victims saying, 'There's life after this' … I'm tired of saying, 'We're sorry, we can't keep them in jail.'"

I like this guy.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

The blame is being put in the wrong place. It is not the scum bag's fault. He was just being his usual scum bag self.
The fault lies with the Judges who keep letting him out after 20 arrests.
The fault lies with an asinine liberal  Corrections philosophy  that tries to tell the public that some POS with 20 priors can be "rehabilitated".
 Can his victims ?
America desperately needs a real justice system to replace the legal industry that is endangering honest people.

Powerful stuff Haz, thanks!

This kind of thing is getting way out of hand everywhere.  I don't let my wife or daughter (who has her LTC) go anywhere alone anymore.  I wish my daughter would consider carrying more often.  She needs an LCP or something to have with her all the time now that they're approved in MA for sale. I might just buy her one for X-mas..

Get her the LCP...it just might be the most important gift she every receives or you ever give.

BTW, that Hogue grip for the LCP mentioned in another thread comes in pink.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Kathy was FINALLY able to attend one of my Permit Classes and is now a proud Iowa Permit holder.  I think maybe it's time to sacrifice my KelTec P-11 so she has something she can carry ALL the time.
I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!

Methinks I'll be forwarding this link to my illustrious Mayor, (that I posted here previously about) regarding the "fear" of letting law abiding citizens carry in City Parks....

Sometimes it takes a Sheriff to remind a Mayor about the reality of our world in which we live in....

+1 on Spartanburg, SC,  it's Marshall Tucker Country...seems those Southern Boys don't pull any punches regarding repeat offenders and their "recidivism" in our Justice system, and they have had enough.

I of course defer to my recent Kalifornia Releasing Inmate's post, with the early release of another said scumbag, dispatched entering an elderly woman's home, the day after being released...

Gee....I'll bet this woman in SC, won't be a victim again...

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Best quote : Wright said in his view, gun control is, "Is when you can get you barrel back on the target quick. That’s gun control."

Bill, it sounds like you have a great sheriff over there.  So good we happen to find him earlier.

Check this thread http://www.downrange.tv/forum/index.php?topic=17940.0.

Glad to have you here.  Maybe you can clarify one of the questions that was brought up.  Is he normally like this or is the an election year thing?

I am a resident of Spartanburg County.  Regarding the suggestion that Sheriff Wright's
comments may be re-election related,  I suspect that he'll run unopposed again next year
so no need for grandstanding.  From his comments, I hear the frustration with the other
side of the legal system that lets the repeat offenders out again and again.

Regarding the MTB... I grew up down the road from the Caldwell boys.  Used to sit outside and
listen to them practicing.
